Diabetes on the decline? Switzerland votes on single payer!

Healthcare Triage is almost one year old. To celebrate, we're going to give you more Healthcare Triage. Two episodes a week. Monday will be a traditional episode, full of all the detail and knowledge you've come to expect.

In this video, the teacher explains how to calculate the average speed for two different modes of transportation by using the distance formula and solving a simple rational equation. The teacher provides an example of a scenario where a...

Australia's newly discovered Cedar virus may provide a clue for curing the deadly Hendra and Nipah viruses, which are Henipaviruses carried in the bodily fluids of the Pteropid fruit bat. They have a respective 50 and 75 percent...

I know you all read my recent NEJM study (and the AcademyHealth blog post I wrote about it). If you didn't, though, it's also the topic of this week's Healthcare Triage News!

Hair resists decay even after death due to keratin, a structural protein. The structure and chemical composition of keratin make it difficult for organisms to break it down. Hair outlasts most other soft tissues due to the insoluble and...

The video is a lecture presentation on the relationship between the rate of decay of milk and its temperature. The presenter discusses two possible experiments to investigate this relationship and then shows how to carry out one of them....

This video explains the concept of average and instantaneous rates of change and their significance in various fields such as science, stock markets, and space missions. It discusses how to calculate the rate of change using the gradient...

A new study shows that sea level is rising at a speed that is faster than the previous 27 centuries. Sea level rose at a rate of 1.4 millimeters per year between 1900 and 2000 while the current rate is 3.4 millimeters per year, according...

We’ve seen so many interesting stories and important data coming out that we couldn’t cover just one thing this week!

Climate is the average type of weather that a region has. It is defined by temperature and moisture. Proximity to oceans and large mountain ranges defines climate too, depending upon the prevailing wind. While climates change over...

The video explains collision theory and activation energy in chemistry. It demonstrates the concept of how reacting particles need to collide with sufficient energy to break reactant bonds and form new products. The video also explains...

The video is a lecture presentation on the rate of photosynthesis experiments. The presenter explains the process of photosynthesis and introduces the hypothesis that the rate of photosynthesis in a plant depends on light intensity. The...

The Large Lakes Observatory (LLO) helps an interdisciplinary group of scientists use oceanographic research approaches to investigate the mysteries of large lakes, and that includes everything from large-scale reactions to climate change...

In this video, the teacher explains how to determine the unit rate by using the multiplicative inverse of a measurement. They provide examples and step-by-step instructions on how to find the unit rate using fewer steps than with a...

Speed, Distance, Time and Acceleration



Speed and acceleration are Physics concepts that we encounter every day, and an understanding of these concepts is crucial to most areas o

In this video, the presenter covers topics such as the impact of inflation on competitiveness in trading, the concept of fiscal drag in taxes, and the redistribution of income based on inflation's differential impact on borrowers and...

Last week the UK government announced the country was moving to the next stage of their Coronavirus strategy. However, they caught a lot of flack for not doing enough, with the UK's strategy looking a lot less drastic than other major...

In this video, the teacher explains how to graph a line using the slope-intercept form of an equation. The examples provided demonstrate how to find the y-intercept and slope, and how to plot points to create the line on a graph.
